Although I don't use VB but rather PowerBasic for windows, maybe this will be of some use (hopefully).

Example:
Assume you have written or have a batch file.

LOL.

Besides, you can treat any file as a binary file.In fact when you get right down to it, all files are binary files in one...

Though I use PowerBasic for windows instead of VB, i'm sure the record
length for random files is quite large as it is with PB. Of course it should

You could store the tables in data statements but then you would have to

Hex is just another numbering system. It can make a difference when sending
large numbers (like 8 bytes of information or so)....

Got the answer (to my question above) on the PowerBasic forum
add a line
